Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Louisiana's rules for instructors, cars and course content. Training from an unlicensed business may not count toward a license, and an insurer may not accept its certificate for a discount.
In Louisiana, driving schools are licensed through the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV).
- Search Louisiana’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- Teens 15 to 17: 30 classroom hours plus 8 hours behind the wheel, on a DPS-designated certificate. (source)
- Adults 18 and older: a 14-hour pre-licensing course (6 classroom hours and 8 behind the wheel). (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) before you enroll.
